 HARTFORD, Nov. 3.-The police here are working up the sad case of Annie Louisa Endee, the eighteen year old daughter of Herman Endee of Poquonnock, a barber who was in business on Market street, Hart ford before bis removal to Pouuonnock a year ago. The young woman has always borne good reputation at her home and in Bristol, where she worked as a domestic un- til recently. She is said to have been decoy- ed inte a house of ill-fame near Hartford and drugged and outraged. A day or two since she went to an employment bureau in Hart ford in search of work. A woman named Mrs. Brown, who runs the notorious Valley House, between New Britain and PlainviIle, hired her as a waitress. Miss Endee thought she was going to aarespectable place, but she soon found out her mistake. Foul play was then resorted to and Saturday morning Mra. Brown drove her into Hartford She was then found to be crazy and she has been so ever since. Her parents turned her over to the Hartford selectmen, and she will be committed to the Middletown asylum. She is raving maniac. MT. Kirk, reliable citizen, of Colts factory, told Times repor- ter as follows: 'I have known the girl for nearly three years, during which time l have SCcA ACL On 4ulIo AuuO0E O1 OCCdSlOAS. She was invariably in company with sister or some of her lady friends. Miss Endee was an honest, upright girl, whose character was beyond suspicion. I knew that she was in Bristol, at york at the Gridley House, as table waiter. I had not seen her since the 9th day of August, until Sunday last, when she came to my room in the Times building, No. 9, at Il o'clock. went to the door in answer to knock and found Miss Endee standing there, seemingly dazed and appar- ently unable to decide what to do or say.
 ''She gave signs of Iaboring under great mental distress, and finally exclaimed, Charley, take me home' It was Sunday, and there were nc trains running. She de clined rest or food, talked wildly and inco- herently, and paid $5 to a man to take her to her home in Poquonnoek in B carriage. MT. Kirk said he acted the part of a friend and humanitarian"
 The girl at Poquonnock was taken charge of by the Windsor selectmen, who found her 8 raving maniac, and they committed her to the charge 1f the Hartford selectmen, who committed her to the town house, she being too i'll to be removed to the insane asylum.

lying at Spithead, England, died recently,
and was buried in the cemetery there.
After the coffin had been lowered four
sailors, who occupied position at the
foot of the grave, produced in success
sion a tin pail, a parcel of matches, a

out of the pail were brought forth sew
eral plates, which were disposed round
the fire, lump of pork, various pieces
of meat, few eggs and quantity Of

vided into fves, were cooked and placed
on the plates, and on the consummation

flexion. This completed the ceremony.

for yards around was dyed with their

sharks, sccnting their prey, rcdoubled

Hamilton stood on the middle seat as

up he saw Waring, he cried out to him,
but in vain. Even as he shouted huge

Hamilton out into the midst of the mon

the tragedy. As soon as Waring recov-

told of the affair. A searching party
went out at once, but nothing was found

A NOTED DESPARADO'S FATE.
The Trauic End Of Owen Manning at the

For two years a desparado named
Owen Manning, alias Obed McReedy,
committed all sorts of crimes in South

ing upon it at places where he stopped
for the night.
In this way he went over the State,
sometimes narrowly evading pursuit.
Finally he reached Beaufort County, and
began series of outrageous crimes.
Governor Scales received arequisition for
him, and the pursuit became warm.
Last April he was found entering a
swamp in Beaufort County, and he be

size, which stood on a sort of island. In
this tree he had stove, bedding and
clothing books and pictures, be
sides food and some stolen property. A
